MILWAUKEE, Wi., October 12, 2018 – This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled officially licensed high-fiving bobbleheads featuring Dak Prescott and Rowdy of the Dallas Cowboys and Dirk Nowitzki and Champ of the Dallas Mavericks. The bobbleheads are part of a first-of-its-kind series featuring 12 current stars from MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL and the NCAA high-fiving their team’s mascot.
The limited edition bobbleheads, which are individually numbered to only 1,000, recently arrived and ship now. The bobbleheads are $60 each with a flat rate shipping charge of $8 per order. The bobbleheads were produced exclusively for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum by FOCO and are officially licensed. These are the first bobbleheads produced featuring a player high-fiving their team’s mascot.
Dak Prescott, who was selected with the 135th overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, made an immediate impact after taking over for Tony Romo. He was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year following the 2016 season, in which he was also selected to the Pro Bowl and named First-Team All-Pro. Prescott has led the Cowboys to winning records in his first two seasons, throwing for 50 career touchdowns and nearly 8,000 yards in his first 37 games.
Dirk Nowitzki is a trailblazer for international players and a staple of the Dallas Mavericks, the team he has played his entire NBA career with. Nowitzki is a 13-time All-Star and led the Mavericks to the 2010-11 NBA title where he was named NBA Finals Most Valuable Player. He won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award in 2006-07 and has played the most games (1,471) of any active player and fifth most all-time.
The series of officially licensed bobbleheads features the following stars from MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL and the NCAA high-fiving their teams’ mascot:
- MLB: Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo with Clark (Chicago Cubs) and Yadier Molina with Fredbird (St. Louis Cardinals)
- NFL: Dak Prescott with Rowdy (Dallas Cowboys) and Tom Brady with Pat Patriot (New England Patriots)
- NBA: Dirk Nowitzki with Champ (Dallas Mavericks), James Harden with Clutch (Houston Rockets), Giannis Antetokounmpo with Bango (Milwaukee Bucks), Russell Westbrook with Rumble the Bison (Oklahoma City Thunder)

“We’re always thinking of ideas for unique and fun new bobbleheads, and the High Five Bobblehead Series certainly fits in that category with the high five being the ultimate symbol of success and celebration in sports,” said Phil Sklar, Co-Founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. “This inaugural group of players feature some of the biggest stars in sports, and Dallas fans will be excited to see two of their teams on the list! We think Dallas fans are going to love these new bobbleheads.”
